About Southeastern Wisconsin NORML

Our Mission

Southeastern Wisconsin NORML’s mission is to educate the Wisconsin public on cannabis and the harms of cannabis prohibition, and to advocate for the legalization of the production and use of cannabis for medical, adult recreational, and industrial purposes.

Our Group

Southeastern Wisconsin NORML was formed in January 2011 in Milwaukee and consists of an all-volunteer staff consisting of intelligent, passionate, hardworking activists who are fed up with the injustice of sick patients being denied their medicine or getting arrested for using it and fed up with the damage caused to individuals and communities across Wisconsin from the unnecessary punishment of cannabis use and possession. We are dedicated to reforming cannabis laws in Wisconsin and local communities and we fight for the legalization of medical cannabis, industrial hemp, and recreation cannabis under a model similar to Colorado’s.

Our work includes: working with legislators, running petition drives, helping elect candidates who support our goals, and raising public awareness and support.

In 2014 Southeastern Wisconsin NORML – along with other groups from around the state such as Wisconsin NORML, Madison NORML, Wisconsin ASA, and the Ben Masel Project – assisted in the design, fundraising, and logistics that put up Wisconsin’s first pro-cannabis billboard. The billboard faced eastbound traffic along I-94 in West Allis for 6 weeks and called out two state senators who were fundamental in blocking medical marijuana in our state.

Lately we’ve been engaging in community outreach by having booths at local events such as Pride Fest and Locust St Fest, and campaigning for candidates who will champion marijuana legalization in the legislature. We are working to increase our volunteer force so we can have an impact on the November elections and begin canvassing Milwaukee area communities to inform residents about the many benefits of legalizing cannabis. Please attend a monthly meeting or go to our volunteer sign up page to get involved.
